I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good software for designing and printing professional looking business cards? The templates that come with Microsoft Publisher are pretty outdated and it takes weeks order business cards from Vistaprint (unless you pay for extra shipping). As I quite enjoy the design process I'd be keen to get some software and do it myself.

Hi, Marcus, and welcome to the forums.

I use Publisher, but I don't bother with the templates. I start with a blank card.

In Publisher 2010, select Business Cards, scroll down past the templates, and you'll find a section called Blank Sizes. Earlier versions have similar options.

You can print your own business cards to hold you over until the professional ones arrive from the printer. Any computer, office, or stationary store will have the special paper for this.

Vistaprint has a bad reputation, and I don't trust them. The only other program I can think of for this would be Libreoffice Draw, but I doubt it would be any better than Publisher.

That said, here's something I came up with:  Publication1.pub.txt (90K)
Number of downloads: 17 Feel free to use that if you want. (Remove the .txt from it before opening it - the forum software wouldn't let me upload a .pub file so I had to do that.)
